DANS LES ARBRES

‘L’album vert’ is a compilation of asynchronous steps for an imaginary dance floor. A strange but amusing place were eyes listen in and ears peek around. Glass breaks, someone stumbles, something always happens. The dancers inevitably hop to moments of tension of which they free themselves again and again.

Almost always there is some kind of beat. Not the kind of beat that makes the hips wiggle, but rather the pulse of a crooked factory or a quirky steam engine that drives much more than four elements.
On this peculiar conveyor belt the stamping and punching and whistling never rests.
The sound on ‘l’album vert’ is not a blanket, but a net full of holes.
The collective does not become one, it becomes many. Sounds seem separated, they do not touch and do not merge, they communicate through the air in between.
Once more, ‘l’album vert’ shows that Dans les arbres has a signature style, although more electronic instruments and experimental recording techniques have been used in comparison to earlier work.
